The senator said that while "a myriad of legal and budgeting concerns must be threshed out" to restart the plate procurement process, "perhaps other legal ways can be explored to fasttrack the delivery of these plates."

The senator noted that the car and motorcycle plates covered by the injunction, "even if they are fully released will hardly make a dent on the demand."

"There were two million motorcycles sold over the past two years. Car sales from 2016 to 2017 totalled almost 800,000. Hindi pa kasama yung mga luma, kasi lahat ay covered by that ill-advised plate replacement program," Poe said.

Government, she said, must provide the public a roadmap, with timetables, on the plate delivery. "Parang Waze ng plate program--ano ang scheduled date of arrival, at ano ang ruta," Poe cited.
